This parameter is being set to `$NIX_BUILD_CORES` by default. This is a
standard practice but there's a suspicion that this can produce broken
builds. For some details see
https://github.com/cargo2nix/cargo2nix/issues/184 . As a
work-around/test, it'd be good if codegen-units can be set to something
constant, such as `1`. This PR allows it.
Note that the default of `$NIX_BUILD_CORES` is preserved so this MR
causes no change in default behaviour and no rebuilds.
Take a "nixSupport" argument that is an attrset of lists to append
to "$out/nix-support/${name}" where name is the name of the
attribute. This attrset is available from the passthru of the
wrapped compiler.
This is an alternative to imperatively issuing flags with
extraBuildCommands and makes it possible to append or filter
flags with an override.
Previously buildDotnetModule did not properly inherit some arguments from
derivations, take for example this expression:
dotnetFlags = [
"--runtime linux-x64"
];
It would error out as follows: "MSBUILD : error MSB1001: Unknown switch.".
Setting the same flag from bash would work fine. This fixes that, all
arguments should now be properly interpreted :)
There used to be a few issues with the way we generate the nuget source:
* The derivation generated for the deps would have "nuget-deps" in them twice:
/nix/store/...-foo-1.0-nuget-deps-nuget-deps
* We always tried to generate the dependencies for "projectReferences"
even when it wasn't set, causing a warning.
This fixes those issues :)
This improves the metadata generation, previously it would take any
"license" entry from the nuspec, and tried to match it to an spdx ID from
"lib.licenses".
Sometimes however licenses are provided in plain-text, which we
obviously cannot cleanly resolve. This resulted in in useless information
("LICENSE.txt") being written to "meta.license".
Examples: support has to be added to https://github.com/nix-community/nixdoc
'nixdoc --category testers --description "nixpkgs testers" --file ./pkgs/build-support/testers/default.nix'
we will have more testers in the future so they should have their own
location
putting 'testers' in args will also make it simpler to use multiple testers
This commits changes the Emacs wrapper, in order to preload all autoload
definitions when built with additional packages. The list of all
definitions is generated at build-time. Packages do not need to
be (require)d for them to work.
Before this change, a code like
```sh
nix-shell -I "nixpkgs=$PWD" -p "emacs.pkgs.withPackages(e:[e.magit])" \
--run "emacs -Q -nw -f magit"
```
will fail with the message `Symbol’s function definition is void: magit`
After the change, the same code above will open Emacs with magit
enabled.
A slightly longer startup time of ~10ms was detected in local, informal
experiments.

These features are internal-only, have special characters that bash
doesn't support in variable names, and aren't normally given
environment variables by cargo as far as I can tell.
This commit fixes precise dependency ignorance by converting the
environment variable `autoPatchelfIgnoreMissingDeps` into a bash array
`ignoreMissingDepsArray`, passing `"${ignoreMissingDepsArray[@]}"`
instead of `"${autoPatchelfIgnoreMissingDeps[@]}"` to the python
script.
The original implementation does not work when
`autoPatchelfIgnoreMissingDeps` contains multiple dependency names.
Because it mistakenly passes `"${autoPatchelfIgnoreMissingDeps[@]}"`
to the python script. According to the Nix manual
(https://nixos.org/manual/nix/stable/expressions/derivations.html),
lists of strings are concatenated into whitespace-separated strings,
then passed to the builder as environment variables. So, if
`autoPatchelfIgnoreMissingDeps = [ "dep1" "dep2" "dep3" ]`,
`"${autoPatchelfIgnoreMissingDeps[@]}"` will be expanded to a single
argument `"dep1 dep2 dep3"`, which is not the intended behavior,
because the python script takes the long argument as a dependency
name.
With this commit, `"${ignoreMissingDepsArray[@]}"` will be expanded to
three arguments `"dep1" "dep2" "dep3"` arguments as expected, fixing
the issue.
cpio includes the number of directory hard links in archives it creates.
Some filesystems, like btrfs, do not count directory hard links the same
way as more common filesystems like ext4 or tmpfs, so archives built
when /tmp is on such a filesystem do not reproduce. This patch replaces
cpio with bsdtar, which does not have this issue. The specific
invocation is from this page:

Desktop files are only useful when accompanied by the binaries they
specify. So it makes more sense to put them next to the binaries rather
than `$out` which only usually contains the binaries.
This simplifies usages and makes the default value consistent.
In a few cases, the default value was interpreted to be `false`,
but this is useless, because virtually nobody will explicitly
set `allowAliases = true;`.
Similar to the implementation of the `%f` and `%u` field codes. In this
case the amount of arguments passed poses no problem but the position
could, at least in theory.
This finishes the implementation of all the non-deprecated field codes.
As a part of that, repetitions of field codes are left alone. Originally
all field codes were removed. Now we replace only the first occurence.
This is correct for at least `%f`, `%u`, `%F` and `%U` because at most
one of them is permitted.
Shortcomings:
1. We replace `%[cfFikuU]` patterns one at a time. This means if the
right field code appears as part of the rest of the `Exec` field or
in a field code that was substituted earlier.
2. If any field code is repeated, only the first occurence is
substituted.
`%f` and `%u` are used to signal the program only accepts a single file
or URI argument. I do not believe there's a way to signal this
information to macOS but it is possible the program really won't work if
multiple files are passed and it's possible the relative position of
`%i`, `%c` or `%k` matters. So we replace `%f` or `%u` with `$1`. That
way we only pass one file in the (possibly significant) position of the
field code.
`ls -1 "$iconsdir/"*` listed the source directory for me when the glob
had no matches. Switching to `-A` circumvents this problem and has the
added advantage that it cannot run into argument list length limits.
Checked the desktop entry spec, there's other field codes than `%[fFuU]`
and those can in fact occur more than once, hence dropping '$' and
adding `/g`.
The "Exec" key in desktop items sometimes has one of the `%f`, `%F`,
`%u` and `%U` suffixes, which specify whether the command takes a file,
multiple files or a generalized URL or URLs. Darwin application bundles
do no understand this syntax so we do the next best thing, which is
simply dropping it.
Allows restricting patches to a specific subdirectory, à la
`git diff --relative=subdir`.
This cannot be done (cleanly) currently because the `includes` logic
happens *after* `stripLen` is applied, so we can't match on `subdir/*`.
This change adds a `relative` argument that makes this possible by
filtering files before doing any processing, and setting `stripLen` and
`extraPrefix` accordingly.
This reverts commit 848091a52b, reversing
changes made to ab0e692ac7.
It caused issues with elfutils tests,
probably through over-stripping of glibc parts.
After being rewritten in https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/149731, this hook
can fail on Mach-O binaries. Since patching ELF files on Darwin doesn't make
much sense anyway, we'll mark this as Linux-exclusive.
Sometimes scalable icons or icons within the thresholds from the desired
resolutions aren't available. In this case it's still nicer to end up
with a blocky scaled icon rather than the generic default.
In order to compose a `.icns` file containing multiple icon sizes I had
to pass `--toc` to `icnsutil`. This did not seem to have a negative
effect on `.icns` containing only a single icon size.
On macOS 10.13 the 48x48 icon size is not supported. It results in a
corrupted image being displayed. I suspect the image data is being
truncated to what it expects for 32x32 or maybe data is read for
128x128, which would be a buffer overflow.
Older macOS cannot interpret the `CFBundleIconFiles` key so we cannot
rewrite the `CFBundleIconFile` entry without special consideration. I
opted to fix this by inverting the squircle logic. We always add both
the `CFBundleIconFile` and `CFBundleIconFiles` keys. The former is
necessary for at least macOS 10.13 and probably 10.12. The latter seems
to be ignored on those versions and overrides the former on newer
versions of macOS.
Inverting the logic also allows us to rely on the `toPlist` generator to
generate the XML syntax, which is a nice bonus.
Some crates do not have a Cargo.toml at the top-level, but only in
nested directories. Before this change importCargoLock used to fail with:
error: manifest path `/nix/store/some-store-path/Cargo.toml` does not exist
Conflict in pkgs/development/libraries/libvirt/default.nix
required manual adjustments. The fetched patch is already in src.
I checked that libvirt builds.
As discussed in https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/163590, it's not really required and has a side effect of adding refeferences to packages from nativeBuildInputs that aren't really required
It is the package list output that should be sorted. The current
output sequence is not logical because '.' is sorted in front of '/'
with input sorting and is not deterministic for different language
environments.
To get a deterministic and logical sorting in environments with
different language configured, env "LC_ALL=C" is set and the produced
strings is that is sorted. To get alphabetic sorting and not a pure
ASCII value sort "--ignore-case" is added.
This reverts commit 0b1856bfe3.
This broke one of our clients projects where a local libary could no
longer be found. Since there is no easy way to disable it's better
if this flag is set per project using `dotnetRestoreFlags`.

pkgs.writeTextFile doesn't like spaces in filenames.
This is fixed in #162246, but other tools will probably dislike
spaces in .desktop file names as well, and that PR will take forever,
so let's fix this anyway.
If bash is executed within an environment where PATH is not set, it uses
the DEFAULT_PATH_VALUE compiled into bash to set PATH. In nixpkgs we set
this to /no-such-path by default. This makes sense in a nixpkgs/NixOS
environment since paths like /bin or /usr/bin should not be used.
However, when bash is used inside an FHS environment, this produces
results that differ from distributions which follow the FHS standard.
Before this change:
$ steam-run env -i /bin/bash -c 'echo $PATH'
/no-such-path
After this change:
$ steam-run env -i /bin/bash -c 'echo $PATH'
/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/sbin:.
This updates makeDesktopItem to explicitly support all the fields in the spec,
converts list-like fields to native Nix lists instead of semicolon-separated strings,
and allows automatically generating [Desktop Action] sections from Nix code
instead of hardcoding them as extraConfig strings.
To keep this for the future we also strictDeps where possible, including for janePackages, topkg, oasis and ocamlbuild.
This makes some closures significantly smaller and makes cross compilation easier
- Convert icons to a single .icns file; and
- Provide an opt-out via X-macOS-Squircle in the desktop item to
override the squircle behavior when the source icons look bad when
converted automatically.
